The Pebble 2 might not have been the best smartwatch of 2016 -- but you could argue that it was indeed the most underrated smartwatch of the year. Now that the whole Pebble lineup has gone down the tubes in one of the saddest buyouts in mobile-tech memory, it’s time for a look back at one of the biggest success stories (and now, one of the biggest implosions) in wearables. Join me, Michael Fisher, and Android Authority's Joshua Vergara as we review - and pour a little out for - the Pebble 2 ... then stick around for our recommendations for the best smartwatch to replace it.
Thanks to Joshua Vergara and Android Authority for the collaboration!

Let's face it: Nobody gave a shit about smart watches until the Pebble came out and showed everyone that a smart watch doesn't have to suck, and helped add momentum to the avalanche of wrist mounted technology.

@TheMrMobile 7 лет назад

Agreed.

@LagomorphaMusic 7 лет назад

I don't think so. The Pebble was a nerd-thing. Go out on the streets and talk to the people. I guess nearly nobody has ever heard of "Pebble", but nearly everybody has heard of the "Apple Watch". And I don't think, that Apple started developing their watch after the Pebble came out. Pebble was earlier than all the other companys - but they weren't good enough in selling their product to normal costumers. I love my Pebble Time. It is a great product. Too bad that there won't be a Pebble Time 2.

@joshk. 7 лет назад

Lagomorpha, although I agree with your point about no average consumer really caring for the Pebble, I think you seem to forget how huge Pebble was as a project. For a long time it was Kickstarter's highest funded project (and might still be to this day, I'm not certain). Due to the wave this caused, and how hyped the device was--even if the hype did eventually die--I would say that the Pebble is more the cause of the smartwatch success, and less its offspring.

@LagomorphaMusic 7 лет назад

I know exactly three people who own and use a smartwatch (one Pebble Time Round, two Apple Watch) - so I won't say that there is a big "smartwatch success". Anyway. Yes, the Pebble was the highest funded project on KS. But what does that say? There were 78,471 Backers when the Pebble Time (still the most funded project on KS) came out - and Apple sold 3.9 million Apple Watches only in the third quarter of 2016 (in the same quarter they sold 45.5 million iPhones). The first Pebble was announced at KS in 2012 - at the same time there were already rumours about the "iWatch" in the media. So again: Yes, Pebble brought it's watch faster to life than Apple and Google did, but Apple had the bigger marketing budget and so most of the people never realised that there was a pretty cool smartwatch called "Pebble" and bought the ugly Apple Watch instead. Bad luck for Pebble - and for us, now that Pebble is gone. :-(

I was a HUGE Pebble fan back in the day and I just could not get anything else that didn't measure its battery in weeks, not days. Much as I love smartwatches, I have kept a close hold on my Pebble Time Steel, until something can provide its same level of functionality, with equal to if not better battery. Colour display included.

I wore a Gear Fit 2 for about 8 months since the announcement (and getting my money back from the Kickstarter) but last week I realized I still like the Pebble (original) better than anything on the market now. I ordered a Time Steel and am wearing that now. I think I'm going to order some more Pebbles and get them in hand while they're still available. Definitely a Round and probably a 2+HR also.

I return to this video in 2019 to say that I salvaged a Pebble Time with charging cable from the eletronics bin of the university where my wife works. It's literally my first smartwatch, and despite being a defunct platform, I have to say that I really like it. Some have criticised its interface, but I love it. The visual style and animations… I'd call them 'beatnik', and I dig them. Thanks to Rebble's services, I can still upload apps and watchfaces to the Pebble. It may not be much, but hey, it didn't cost me anything, and it's fun!

Well, thank you Michael for saying goodbye to one of the most innovative company's in smartwatch tech. For someone who isn't as well off, this was the best smartwatch to could buy.

@pilzfreak9662 7 лет назад

Pebble is always a good memory for me. A friend and me got third place in a hackaton event by a bank. We had to do "some application in relation to finances for pebble" (the first pebble that came out, I love the API) and we created a budgets manager the jury loved and got third place, so won 1500 francs. We had to divide that into two so each of us had 750 francs. Luckily there was a survey where the audience choosed which one was the best and this one we won, so won 500 francs more so we had totally 1000 each.. We were in apprenticeship and the others all are much more expirienced so this third place was a really proud moment for me.

The battery lasted long too I miss it all the time.

@exkayjay8751 5 лет назад

So it’s 2019 now, and to the best of my knowledge, Pebble is almost completely dead. The App Store and watchface store are both no longer around, and I’m pretty sure the website had been taken over by Fitbit too. This makes me extremely sad, as the proud owner of a Pebble smartwatch 😢: RIP Pebble 😭

Just found a decent price, still in the box Pebble 2 I plan on using with Rebble as well. You can get back the voice and weather functionality by paying $33 a year to help keep Rebble up and going. Until the rest of these Smartwatch companies get their head out of their ass and provide me with stellar Notifications, the ability to reply with voice, and Pebble level of Battery at a minimum, I will keep buying a dead smartwatch because they got it right. I don't need 1000 features eating my battery, or a phone replacement. I need a Pebble.

I have a shortcut for stopwatch, timer, music boss and calendar, I love how fast I can open those apps, specifically when working out.

@theeclecticmindofryan8727 7 лет назад

It's a damn shame Pebble went the way of the dodo bird. I'm still rocking my 1st Gen Pebble that I got from Kickstarter. I'm not gentle with it by any means... it has its share of accidental drops, bumps, scrapes, and is still ticking. My father, brother, and nephews are also still using their 1st Gen Pebbles as well. Meanwhile, my friend (who is no clumsier than I am) has already gone through two different android wear watches and is now using a Samsung Gear S3. I wanna see how long that one is going to last him. In the end... when support does become completely nil after 2017, I think I will switch to a Samsung Gear. The only reason why I would take such a drastic move, is because I absolutely love Samsung Pay... and the reaction it garners at the register of a Mom & Pop shop that doesn't have a fancy point of sale system, let alone an EMV chip reader. Wide eyes of amazement everywhere I go. But that Pebble will hold a special place in my heart when it comes to tech, and hopefully with its demise, other companies will remember what it did best at, battery life, stable software, apps that worked, and notifications... which inspired a loyal fan base. That's what it's ultimately about... as Whoopi Goldberg said in Sister Act, "It's about getting butts in the seats."

@DarrenPersad 7 лет назад

Say what you will about Smartwatches coming a long way in the few years they've been around, but I still think most pale in comparison to the overall package you got with Pebbles. See Pebble did a few things differently than the others - they didn't focus on putting the biggest, flashiest, highest resolution display out there on your wrist - instead they put a more-than-usable monochrome "e-Paper" LCD. The build, while certainly not as refined as some others, was still sturdy, and inexpensively made, lowering costs for both production and sales drastically. The software, while a bit limited feature-wise, was exceptionally well done, so you actually had a reason to use those features, instead of just boasting about all the half-assed things your smartwatch could theoretically do (like so many others). And really, the Pebble did all of those things with a bit of charm - the engineers and designers made it a joy to use with fun little quirks and plenty of playful touches that made them so unique. And the fact that they were cross-platform capable made them all the more valuable. When revisions and new models came, they just kept on improving on everything they did right the first time, where others continued to fall short. It's a shame that Pebble is gone now, but what's even worse is that there won't be quite another company like them again - mark my words. Still, enjoy them while you can. Cheers, and happy holidays!

@eyb0ss 7 лет назад

@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia 7 лет назад

There are some really dedicated people working on making sure our watches work and are as enjoyable in the future as they are now. And there's one more thing. Perhaps Fitbit will actually use what they bought and come up with a great product. That seems unlikely but you never know.

At least not if you only spend 100$ like I did!!! LOL I was gonna look into getting an S3 then i saw that price tag.... YIKES!! I think ill wait a year or so for the price to drop...

I have about 20 watches from 50's till present smart ones.. Wear my Pebble steel 80% of the time. I love it.

I was going to buy Pebble but changed my mind and bought the Vector. Lucky me b/c 2 months later came the news. I love my Vector!

I tried the original Pebble, after that I tried the Moto 360, then de Apple Watch and now I'm back to the Pebble Time Round. In my opinion Pebble is the only company who did smartwatches right. I'm going to miss them.

Completely agree with you guys on the scrolling issue. Samsung has the bezel, apple got the crown, and pebble was always buttons. You cant read anythin with your finger over a postage stamp display. Gunna miss you pebble! Maybe as well in the future the wireless ear buds like AirPods and Sammys wireless buds will take away some work from the watches as well as there basically a second wearable computer on you.

Ahh....Be solo Michael, I don't like anyone else or anyone else's voice in your Video. You are the best man! My first dislike button click on your channel :(

@TheMrMobile 7 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback, but you know that disliking the video hurts my metrics and the channel health on the whole, right?

@mrEbraheem 7 лет назад

Whoever said that criticizing does not hurt. I know how he means and I too don't feel happy. I like your videos. Almost all of them, except this one :(

This is the same exact mentality from fans that forced him to quit Pocket Now.

Going to have to ditto on this one - and also make my first comment on a Mr. Mobile video. The personality and voice of your channel is lost when you add additional people to your videos. We get less of the person we came here to see.

Praveen Singh i respect yr opinion, but collaboration isn't that bad considering that joshua is really a good reviewer compared to the rest. I prefer micheal fisher to do what he likes rather than the idea being governed by others, and that's what my first thought of why he starts to open a youtube channel of it's own. That makes me to question though, what part of joshua that you don't like about?
